The cost of doing nothing
Many SMEs are hesitant when it comes to AI because they initially see the costs. However, the actual costs are not caused by the investment, but by doing nothing. Every day without modern AI support means that employees search for information for longer than necessary, make mistakes that could have been avoided or spend an unnecessary amount of time on routine tasks.
These hidden costs do not appear in any balance sheet - but they add up to huge amounts. This becomes particularly clear with Onboarding. In traditional processes, new employees take weeks to become productive - with AI buddies, this time is drastically reduced.
More than just knowledge management
The value of AI is not limited to knowledge management. It relieves employees of repetitive tasks, analyses data, improves internal communication and ensures more efficient collaboration - whether in hybrid teams or when breaking open Knowledge silos.
With Amaiko The benefits start with securing knowledge, but go far beyond that: AI becomes a co-pilot in everyday working life, creating structures, providing information and noticeably increasing productivity.
Where the ROI actually arises
- Onboarding: up to 60 % shorter familiarisation times.
- Information search: Less time lost due to immediately available answers.
- Fluctuation: Knowledge stays in the company, even when employees leave.
- Administrative processes: Routine tasks can be automated.
- Decisions: AI provides a database and suggestions for faster decisions.
The ROI calculator: clarity at the touch of a button
To make the benefits concrete, we have developed a ROI calculator developed. With just a few entries - number of new employees, fluctuation rate, average search times - it is possible to transparently calculate how much efficiency potential there is in the company.
What is particularly exciting is that the calculator not only takes knowledge management into account, but also the effects of process optimisation and time savings in meetings. It quickly becomes clear that the break-even point is usually reached after three to four months. After that, AI no longer works as a cost factor, but as a yield generator.
Conclusion: AI pays off faster than many people think
The ROI of AI is not a theoretical construct, but measurable and tangible in everyday life. For SMEs, this means less uncertainty, clear figures and a direct business case. With Amaiko, the question "Is it worth it?" very quickly becomes "Why didn't we start earlier?".
